Very interactive and it was interesting...Great viz! Very interactive and it was interesting to see stats by team in the lower half.<br /><br />I&#39;m not sure if the rules allow you to add another variable or two to the underlying data, but that would really make it fantastic. The first variable is Score differential. If I&#39;m down by 10 points vs up by 10 points, my play calling on 4th down is going to change greatly.<br /><br />As you correctly pointed out, play calling does get more risky in the 4th quarter, but even there I think the more accurate variable is: Time left in the half. <br />With only 2 minutes left in the game (vs 12 min) and the score differential more than 3 points there&#39;s almost a great certainty that teams will go for it even if they are at the 50 yard line. Somewhat similar calculus enters into the equation near the end of the first half, where it is important to go into the locker room with some points scored.<br /><br />Good luck on the Iron Viz! <br />PrakashPrakash Adithamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919701493390912155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893419202319810209.post-33096699379356999492014-03-27T08:39:35.022-07:002014-03-27T08:39:35.022-07:00¿Lo conoces?¿Lo conoces?Roberto Gejmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416335878221830894noreply@blogger.com
